Like I said, monkey with a machine gun.

Increase the amount of CO2 by some arbitrary amount. That causes the temperature to rise by some amount. That means the air can hold more moisture. That cause the temperature to go up. That means the air can hold more moisture...

Round and round. This is known as a "positive feedback cycle". Eventually it dampens out. But if you keep increasing the amount of CO2, it never reaches equilibrium.

It can be complicated. You might want to do a little research to gain understanding. You also might want to look into the dangers of positive feedback. Some other important topics, methane, methane chlathrates, temperature.

I could care less if the Earth is really warming and likely would prefer it
